On Saturday, August 13, the Charger Band students will converge on the CSHS cafeteria at 8:30am with rocking chairs for our first big fundraiser of the year!  Prizes abound at this event and our top fundraising Charger Band Student will be taking home the grand prize of Whataburger for a year!!

The fundraising goal is for every Charger Band member to hit the $250 mark so we can fund all the wonderful programs we have for our band students.

The Rock-a-thon committee has a few donation needs. If you are able to donate any of these items, please send them to the director’s office in the band hall.

– Card stock (for sponsor thank you notes)
– Invitation envelopes (for sponsor thank you notes)
– Mailing stamps(for sponsor thank you notes)
– Smarties candy
– Raffle prizes for our students
– Pens

Lunch orders for Rock-a-thon will be taken at check in.  If your student has special dietary needs, please let the Rock-a-thon committee know as soon as possible so they can arrange for special lunch to be available for your student.  Also, concessions will be available at the event, so please send your student with some pocket change for snacks.

All parents are invited to join the fun from 3-3:25 for our wrap up events: Director 20 questions, special surprise and big reveal!  The Rock-a-thon committee is asking for donations of cookies for refreshments for wrap up time.

The “After Party” for all who participate in Rock-a-thon is scheduled for Friday, August 19, from 8am-11am at Bay Area Raceway in Dickinson.  Cost for entry to the After Party is $10 and covers unlimited free play on video games, non ticket games, unlimited laser tag and unlimited go kart riding!  All students who hit the $250 mark for Rock-a-thon donations and pledges will receive half price entry for $5.  Our winning section with the highest $ average per student in the section will receive free After Party entry!

Parents can sign up to chaperone for Rock-a-thon and/or the After Party on Charms.  All hands are welcome and it’s fun!

Thank you for supporting this fun event and helping the band fund our programs.
